Internet King's Future Life

Chapter 612 The More You Struggle, the More Sober You Get

The more you struggle, the clearer you become.

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep for a while, Xue Na simply stopped lying down.

Supporting half of her body with her right hand, she began to grope for her cell phone in complete darkness.

Fortunately, she did not put her phone far away before going to bed, and soon she found it.

The screen emitted a dazzling light, and she couldn't help but blink her eyes subconsciously. After blinking several times quickly, her eyes finally adjusted to the sudden light in the darkness.

Then, she glanced at the screen of her mobile phone and found that it was only a little after ten o'clock in the evening.

It turned out that she had been lying in bed for half an hour but hadn't fallen asleep at all!

It was impossible to sleep. After half an hour of futile efforts, Xue Nai no longer wanted to "struggle to death". So, she leaned against the head of the bed and started browsing her phone.

When we say "brushing on the phone", it really means exactly what it says.

The light from the screen dimly illuminated most of Xue Na's face. Her eyes were visibly dull and it was obvious that her thoughts had flown away to who knows where.

Her index finger was "doing its job" and continued to swipe across the phone screen, causing all the interesting and boring information to be swiped away quickly without staying in front of Xue Na's eyes for even a second.

Just as she was about to continue operating mechanically, Xue Na's index finger suddenly stopped and hung in mid-air.

A trace of hesitation appeared on her face. Xue Na pursed her lips, but then, she didn't know what decision she made, but determination instantly replaced it.

Having made up her mind, she quickly got off the bed.

Without even looking for the slippers that were left by the bed, he just walked out of the room barefoot on the floor quietly.

In the living room, gentle moonlight fell near the balcony, only dimly illuminating this corner, while the corridor on one side of the room was still shrouded in darkness.

Xue Na's familiarity with the room did not allow her to ignore the obstacles around her.

Therefore, after accidentally kicking the corner of the wall again and feeling extremely painful, she chose to trust technology and used the flashlight function of her mobile phone to illuminate the way ahead.

She moved forward step by step, trying her best to make her steps light even though she was not wearing shoes, and approached the guest room carefully.

The coolness of the floor tiles spread from the soles of her feet upwards. Fortunately, the chilly spring weather had long passed, so instead of causing Xue Na's feet to feel cold, the temperature actually dropped a bit.

——As she got closer to the guest room, the heat in her body seemed to be getting higher and higher.

No matter how slow she walked, the master bedroom was only a short distance away from the guest room, so in just a few steps, she reached the door of the guest room.

Standing in front of the guest room door, she did not knock on the door immediately. Instead, she turned off the flashlight function on her mobile phone, then bent down and stared carefully at whether there was any light coming through the crack in the door.

She barely observed for a while, and even bent lower and lower, almost like she was lying on the ground. However, even so, she still didn't see any light coming out of the room.

Could it be that they fell asleep so soon?

When Xue Na thought that she was the only one who couldn't sleep all night and that the two of them, an adult and a child, couldn't sleep soundly, she puffed her cheeks unhappily.

She stretched out her hand and was about to knock on the door, but stopped in mid-air.

Waking up Tezuka is no big deal, but I’m afraid of waking up Naituanzi. If that happens... I probably won’t be able to sleep for the rest of the night!

So, giving up the idea of ​​knocking on the door directly, Xue Na took out her cell phone and called someone out.

But...what excuse should she use to call him out?

Give little Ash back to her?

No, no, no, this won't work. What if I wake Milk Ball up halfway? !

Well...well, tell me, tell me you have something to talk to him about?

But...what should I look for him for?

Xue Na was struggling for a long time and couldn't find an excuse that she thought was perfect.

Just at this moment, the door in front of her opened.

"Click——"

In the quiet environment, the sound of a door opening was suddenly heard extremely loud, and Xue Na was immediately awakened from her tangled thoughts.

Watching the door gradually open inward, what instantly came into Xue Na's mind was not "That's great, I don't have to make excuses!", but "No! I want to leave!" However, before she could actually take action, the door in front of her had already opened to its maximum extent.

Even though it was as dark inside as outside and nothing could be seen clearly, the tall young man who appeared at the door still had a strong presence.

She didn't even need to use Xue Na's eyes to feel the other person's presence at the moment.

In the darkness, even though she couldn't see Tezuka's face clearly, Xue Na still raised her head, glared at him angrily, and asked fiercely, "What are you doing?!"

Putting aside other things, just judging by the sound, it was quite angry and harsh. If you didn't know, you would think that Tezuka came to the door of the master bedroom and disturbed her sleep.

The young man unconsciously tightened his grip on the door handle.

In fact, he was not frightened by Xue Na's "ferocious" behavior at this time, but...

Think about it, a quiet night, with darkness all around and only the moonlight providing a dim light. The night is as cool as water, flowing quietly and gently. Of course, this alone is not enough to make people feel the slightest bit of fear.

However, anyone who has seen a horror movie knows that the horror atmosphere is not immediately created at the beginning of the story. Only the ordinary life can better set off the thrilling and ups and downs of the plot afterwards.

Therefore, just like the protagonist in the horror movie who had no idea that there was an extra person in his house, Tezuka also had no idea that at this moment, there was someone standing outside his door.

So, without any psychological preparation, Tezuka opened the door...

A shocking scene suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The cold light without any temperature was dim, but it illuminated from bottom to top, and just like that, a pale, bloodless face suddenly appeared in his sight.

Tezuka was not a timid person, but under such an unexpected fright, his heart suddenly tightened uncontrollably and began beating violently.

The adrenaline was surging, but that wasn't the end.

Hearing the sound of him opening the door, the other person raised his head faintly in the darkness. Under the shadow, a pair of dark eye sockets immediately looked towards him.

The other party's vague gaze seemed to fall on his face. Instantly, goose bumps all over his body stood up uncontrollably, and a scream, the natural reaction of the human body to danger, creaked in his throat.

Just as his psychological defenses were broken and screams were about to break through the sky, the face that suddenly appeared in front of him, which he did not immediately recognize, suddenly spoke first!

Fortunately! ! !

When the familiar voice rang in Tezuka's ears, he had to admit that at this moment, there was nothing else in his mind except these two words.

He was not afraid that his screams would burst out and shatter his previous image of being calm and self-controlled among Xue Na. What he was afraid of was that his worldview would be completely overturned - he really encountered a supernatural event!

Fortunately, fortunately, it turned out that the person standing in front of him was Xue Na, not a real ghost!

Otherwise, he had to find a way to escape with Xue Na and Xiao Xiu, but...

You know what, he's scary, really scary!

Tezuka let out an inaudible breath, and his tense heartstrings completely relaxed. Then, he took a step towards Xue Na and closed the door to avoid waking up the sleeping little Ash.

"Why did you come here?" He lowered his voice and asked as quietly as possible, "Are you worried that Ash can't sleep without you? Don't worry, he's asleep."

Tezuka kept asking and answering himself, but Xuena didn't pay much attention to him. However, she still consciously took a step back and made way for him to walk out.

The door was closed and the surroundings fell into darkness again. The only sound of two intertwining breathing revealed their presence.

Xuena still didn't answer his question, and Tezuka didn't care. With the help of the darkness, he couldn't help but smile brightly.

"Let's go!"

Without asking Xue Na why she came here, Tezuka simply reached out and grasped her wrist by feel, then gently pulled her away from the door of the guest room.

Xue Na had no time to refuse, or rather, she simply didn't want to refuse, so she obediently followed Tezuka and left the spot.

After all, it seemed that she was angry at two people, one big and one small, but she couldn't deceive herself as to who she was really angry at.

After leaving the guest room door and kicking the corners and the legs of the sofa repeatedly, Tezuka finally groped his way along the wall and found the switch.

The next second, the living room was brightly lit again, as if it were daytime.

The light was more dazzling than that from the mobile phone. Xue Na subconsciously turned her head to avoid it. When she got used to it and turned back, she had already been pulled by Tezuka to sit on the sofa.

When I turned my head, I saw Tezuka's lips moving, as if he was about to say something.

Seeing this, Xue Na immediately took the initiative and asked, "Let me ask you, when will you tell my mother about your relationship with Ash?"

Because it was a serious matter and she was the one in the right, Xue Na spoke with particular confidence. She puffed out her chest, put her hands on her hips, and looked very aggressive.

"I······"

Having the conversation taken away from him, Tezuka immediately shut his mouth. When he heard Xue Na's righteous question, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

It has been nearly a month since I promised her that, and during this period Xue Na has not shown any sign of ever mentioning this matter.

Moreover, even when they were alone together - on the way to the filming of a variety show, Xue Na never mentioned it a word.

To be honest, Xue Na had such a careless behavior and hadn't mentioned it for so long, so he thought she had already handed the matter over to him with confidence!

Why, why is it that today, I suddenly become so upset?

An embarrassed look appeared on Tezuka's face, and his clear phoenix eyes unconsciously glanced to the side, avoiding meeting Xue Na's gaze.

"talk!"

She had intended to try to find a topic to talk about, but she didn't expect to get this reaction from Tezuka. Xuena frowned and pushed Tezuka in an urging manner.

Remaining silent and avoiding the topic is obviously not a good strategy when you are alone with someone!

When asked about his face again, Tezuka couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose, and stammered the answer: "Not yet..." This was the first time he answered in an unreasonable and obviously weak manner.

Although she had guessed a little from his previous reaction, Xue Na's eyebrows were still raised when she got the answer. "Why?"

She was puzzled.

It is understandable that she was afraid under the pressure of Miwako, but how come... how come even Tezuka doesn't dare to tell the truth?

He is not a cunning person...

Moreover, she saw it clearly last time. Her mother's attitude towards him was, if not attentive, then at least welcoming. Why didn't she dare to say it?

She never thought that if she said it herself, she would just get a beating, at most a mixed doubles beating. If she thought positively, she might not even get a beating, maybe just a few angry curses.

After all, if you think from Miwako's perspective, you will understand that she gave birth to her own child, so what else can she do? Besides swallowing the bitter fruit of not raising her well, what else can she do?

However, if the "culprit" told her this, the nature of the matter would be completely different!

No matter how high-sounding your words are, it is your own child and you should love him/herself.

If your own child does something wrong, you can just say a few words and let it go, but if someone else’s child is involved, the meaning is completely different!

Even though Miwako is not the kind of person who makes unreasonable demands, when it comes to matters related to Setsukina, she can't help but behave like most parents.

——Favor one’s own children.

So, it goes without saying that the same explanation, when spoken by Tezuka and when spoken by Yukina, has a world of difference in effect!

However, Yukina, who was in the dark about the situation and only thought that Miwako was mean to her, did not realize that she was pushing Tezuka into dire straits.

Unable to figure out the reason, she asked again, "Why?" This time, there was obvious curiosity in her tone.

Not wanting to reveal his little thoughts in front of Xue Na right now, Tezuka lowered his eyes and his brain worked at high speed, looking for a suitable excuse.

"Recently... I've been too busy. I have some school assignments to do, the tennis club is also preparing for some competitions, and... there are also variety shows..."

He said to keep half and half, and didn't say everything clearly, but Xue Na immediately understood what he meant.

——It’s not that he doesn’t want to make things clear right away, it’s just that he doesn’t have time recently!

What you said... seems to make some sense?

Her frowned brows relaxed a little, but...it was not to the point where she believed it completely.

Combined with Tezuka's subconscious reaction when he was questioned just now, she always felt that what he said was a bit misleading!

"Really?" she asked tentatively, with hesitation in her eyes.

Subconsciously, I felt that Tezuka was not such a person. He always did what he said. But when I thought about his guilty reaction before, I was not sure.
